    All drives must have at least one partition to be usable.

    Your choices are to get another drive or delete something from the existing drive.

    If you happen to have a second partition on the existing drive, you can move personal data files from C to the other partition.

    You can move personal data files to D and still be able to use them from C.

    But you cannot move Windows files or installed programs from one partition to another without major problems.
